This paper investigates the ionized gas flow in the boundary layer, when the contour of the body within the fluid is porous. Ionized gas is exposed to the influence of the outer magnetic field induction Bm = Bm(x), which is perpendicular to the contour of the body within the fluid. It is presumed that the electroconductivity of the ionized gas is a function only of the longitudinal coordinate, i.e. ? = ?(x). By means of adequate transformations, the governing boundary layer equations are brought to a generalized form. The obtained generalized equations are solved in a four-parameter localized approximation. Based on the obtained numerical solutions, diagrams of important physical values and characteristics of the boundary layer have been made. Conclusions have also been drawn.

This paper studies the laminar boundary layer on a body of an arbitrary shape when the ionized gas flow is planar and steady and the wall of the body within the fluid porous. The outer magnetic field is perpendicular to the fluid flow. The inner magnetic and outer electric fields are neglected. The ionized gas electroconductivity is assumed to be a function of the longitudinal velocity gradient. Using transformations, the governing boundary layer equations are brought to a general mathematical model. Based on the obtained numerical solutions in the tabular forms, the behavior of important non-dimensional quantities and characteristics of the boundary layer is graphically presented. General conclusions about the influence of certain parameters on distribution of the physical quantities in the boundary layer are drawn.

This paper studies the influence of the magnetic field on the planar laminar steady flow of the ionized gas in the boundary layer. The present outer magnetic field is homogenous and perpendicular to the body within the fluid. The gas of the same physical characteristics as the gas in the main flow is injected (ejected) through the contour of the body. The governing boundary layer equations for different forms of the electroconductivity variation law are transformed, brought to a generalized form and solved numerically in a four-parametric approximation. It has been determined that the magnetic field, through the magnetic parameter, has a great influence on certain quantities and characteristics of the boundary layer. It has also been shown that this parameter has an especially significant influence on the non-dimensional friction function, and hence the boundary layer separation point.

The ionized gas flow in the boundary layer on bodies of revolution with porous contour is studied in this paper. The gas electroconductivity is assumed to be a function of the longitudinal coordinate x. The problem is solved using Saljnikov's version of the general similarity method. This paper is an extension of Saljnikov?s generalized solutions and their application to a particular case of magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) flow. Generalized boundary layer equations have been numerically solved in a four-parametric localized approximation and characteristics of some physical quantities in the boundary layer has been studied.

This paper studies the ideally dissociated air flow in the boundary layer when the contour of the body within the fluid is porous. By means of adequate transformations, the governing boundary layer equations of the problem are brought to a general form. The obtained equations are numerically solved in a three-parametric localized approximation. Based on the obtained solutions, very important conclusions about behavior of certain boundary layer physical values and characteristics have been drawn.

This paper investigates ionized gas flow in the boundary layer when its electroconductivity is varied. The flow is planar and the contour is porous. At first, it is assumed that the ionized gas electroconductivity ? depends only on the longitudinal variable. Then we adopt that it is a function of the ratio of the longitudinal velocity and the velocity at the outer edge of the boundary layer. For both electroconductivity variation laws, by application of the general similarity method, the governing boundary layer equations are brought to a generalized form and numerically solved in a four-parametric three times localized approximation. Based on many tabular solutions, we have shown diagrams of the most important nondimensional values and characteristic boundary layer functions for both of the assumed laws. Finally, some conclusions about influence of certain physical values on ionized gas flow in the boundary layer have been drawn. .

Solutions have been obtained for a family of unsteady three-dimensional boundary-layer flows which approach separation as a result of the imposed pressure gradient. These solutions have been obtained in a co-ordinate system which is moving with a constant velocity relative to the body-fixed co-ordinate system. The flows studied are those which are steady in the moving co-ordinate system. The boundary-layer solutions have been obtained in the moving co-ordinate system using the technique of semi-similar solutions. The behaviour of the solutions as separation is approached has been used to infer the physical characteristics of unsteady three-dimensional separation.In the numerical solutions of the three-dimensional unsteady laminar boundary-layer equations, subject to an imposed pressure distribution, the approach to separation is characterized by a rapid increase in the number of iterations required to obtain converged solutions at each station and a corresponding rapid increase in the component of velocity normal to the body surface. The solutions obtained indicate that separation is best observed in a co-ordinate system moving with separation where streamlines turn to form an envelope which is the separation line, as in steady three-dimensional flow, and that this process occurs within the boundary layer (away from the wall) as in the unsteady two-dimensional case. This description of three-dimensional unsteady separation is a generalization of the two-dimensional (Moore-Rott-Sears) model for unsteady separation.

This paper studies the ionized gas i.e. air flow in an axisymmetrical boundary layer adjacent to the bodies of revolution. The contour of the body within the fluid is nonporous. The ionized gas flows under the conditions of equilibrium ionization. A concrete form of the electroconductivity variation law has been assumed and studied here. Through transformation of variables and introduction of sets of parameters, V. N. Saljnikov's version of the general similarity method has been successfully applied. Generalized equations of axisymmetrical ionized gas boundary layer have been obtained and then numerically solved in a three-parametric localized approximation.

Influence of aligned magnetic field on the steady boundary layer flow and heat transfer over a stretching sheet with Newtonian heating boundary condition is considered. The transformed governing nonlinear boundary layer equations in the form of ordinary differential equations are solved numerically by Keller box method. The details on computation have been presented and elaborated. The obtained numerical solutions have been captured graphically in the form of velocity and temperature distributions for different values of aligned angle, magnetic field parameter, Prandtl number and conjugate parameter. It is found that, increases in aligned angle associated with magnetic field delayed the velocity profile of the flow and enhances the temperature profile.

In this study we use a new spectral relaxation method to investigate an axisymmetric law laminar boundary layer flow of a viscous incompressible non-Newtonian Eyring-Powell fluid and heat transfer over a heated disk with thermal radiation and Newtonian heating. The transformed boundary layer equations are solved numerically using the spectral relaxation method that has been proposed for the solution of nonlinear boundary layer equations. Numerical solutions are obtained for the local wall temperature, the local skin friction coefficient, as well as the velocity and temperature profiles. We show that the proposed technique is an efficient numerical algorithm with assured convergence that serves as an alternative to common numerical methods for solving nonlinear boundary value problems. We show that the convergence rate of the spectral relaxation method is significantly improved by using method in conjunction with the successive over-relaxation method. It is observed that CPU time is reduced in SOR method compare with SRM method.
